Inside Carolina Podcast

Pretty football it was not. But pretty and winning need not be a mandatory pairing in college football and those two descriptors were - for the majority of the night - not residing in the same galaxy. But in talking Mack Brown’s North Carolina team leading up to the season, winning differently has been a theme. On Inside Carolina’s Day After show, Buck Sanders, Jason Staples and Tommy Ashley break down the Tar Heels very ‘different’ 19-17 win over the Minnesota Golden Gophers in Huntington Bank Stadium.
